We’ve learned that the case has been filed by the Las Vegas District Attorney, citing Paris for felony cocaine possession. This is a charge that carries a sentence of one to four years if convicted, as well as a fine of $5,000.

At the hotel, Paris told the cop she needed lip balm so the cop handed Paris her purse: “As she began to open it, I saw a small bindle of what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggie begin to fall from the purse and into my hand.”

The cop also says … inside the purse was a “broken tablet of Albuterol” — a prescription medication used to control wheezing. And cops say they found Zig Zag wrappers … commonly used to roll joints.

Do you think she’ll get locked up? Or will she get the celebrity justice version and get a slap on the wrist???
